Thanks for your work in documenting this spectacular place! I recently visited the MPM myself for the first time, and like you, I'm interested in helping to document it before it's gone. I spent five full days in there taking photos of every panel of every exhibit (including the accompanying text) and I'm working on getting them organized into what will hopefully be a permanent virtual archive of the museum once it's gone. (Don't think i'm allowed to post links in youtube comments, but it's on flickr) Anyway, I wanted to reach out because unfortunately, I arrived too late to capture some of the museum's most iconic exhibits, which have already been removed. I was wondering if you'd be willing to let me use a screenshot from your video to fill in one of the gaps in what I was able to capture? In particular, I am referring to the wall of Navajo rugs seen at 37:25 in your video. Haven't been able to find any other images of that online. But with your permission I would like to add it to the "Southwestern" album and of course I will give you appropriate credit!

I like both Ho and OO train sets, and they are the same with the tracks.

Don't forget that the Lionel OO Gauge Hudson runs on 19mm gauge tracks and is not compatiable with HO 16.5mm gauge tracks. The only track systems it will run on is the 19mm bakelite roadbed original, gargraves OO gauge track, or On3 gauge track.

I didn't go to Mad City this year, but now I wish I did. I went there a couple of years ago. Just didn't have the money this year, hopefully I see them next time I go. When I have gauge 1 replicas, I'd love to display them at shows as well.

I'll admit they're cool I haven't got to see Edward running around but they are tiny compared to any g scale engine

I got to see them! It was cool!

2:45 At least more accurate to Seasons 6-7 and the HiT era. The other Thomas model has a more Season 5 shade of blue.

that flying scotsman just looks stunning...bet you smile every time you see it, those carriages are so good. if only I had the space.

I’ll eventually have a collection like that for a garden. Beautiful models!

I think these two A4s will come again to Britain as part of another celebration of mallard

Your layout looks brilliant, with only a short glimpse! Could we see more? Just found your layout, and very nice it is too!

Good job, Andy! I like the music, too. It was good to see you at the show and looking forward to more videos and seeing you at the shows. God Bless!

Looks Like A Great Train Show.

Nice Layout.

That’s a really great creation you made for your camera! I love the perspective it gives, like you are tiny too! (Love the Schlitz boxcar! I always loved the advertising on boxcars.) I really like that the camera setup gives an increased sense of speed too! Well done!👍

I Remember that Lionel Layout in Menominee.

Love that Engine Does That Come In Another Line?

UPDATE. As of April 2024, I made styrene housings for the headlights to replace the plain electrical tape ones shown in the video for engine 407.

3M makes an "industrial" double backed tape that works very well; it comes on a roll with red backer.

british locomotives really were so small they had to make them big

Can oo, on30 and ho run on the same track and same controller?

Wonderful video! Glad you enjoyed the show! It really was a fun time!

I'm glad to see you enjoyed the show. It brings me no end of joy to see my Lego rolling stock brighten the days of those who saw them. Looks like you were particularly fond of my Big Boy.

I’m Sorry To Say but For the Mad City Train Show I think It should Go Fri-Sun. It’s That Big.

I Missed This Show One Day I will Make That Show.

The humming is not interference. It is the PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) that the controller uses to control the motor in the train. Basically the same method a digital decoder uses to control the motor. The controller is better than the previous pure analogue controllers. You do not get any humming from the Bachmann controller, because it is pure analogue. I agree, there are better controllers out there, both PWM controllers and analog controllers.

Is the track that smooth or does that camera have a steadi-cam type feature?

Z scale always seems to be running too fast! Lol! Thank you again for sharing your experience

Those ALCO 855s are unique but so ugly! 😂 a face only a mother could love!

I really enjoyed your video. The comment about the "Fancy locomotive pulling busses."😅😅😅 i like to have died! 😅😅😅 May God bless you for sharing this experience!

Super cool!!

Wait do gauge one models fit on g scale track?

OO used to be common in the states, but it was a different track gauge than HO. HO won out over OO in the 1940s, and today there are very, VERY few people who still model American OO gauge

Always loved the native American exhibits with lake Michigan in the background. Have very fond memories going back 20plus Years now. Thank you for making this.

Thanks for the mighty fine train ride, I thoroughly enjoyed it! :)

So oo guage is disporportionate to the track? How am i going to sleep at night now?

Love to see models like this. Would love to try to make a model at some point too! I'll make duck first once I find all the things I need. Help is welcome. Edit: change of plans I'm making edward first due to some.... complications

That's amazing!

Still cant believe it will be gone and most of the original exhibits will be destroyed.

AMEN MY BROTHER!!!!

That Look liked an Awsome Show one time Or Another I Am Goin Back To This Train Show.

Thanks for the Shout out Andy. Great video - brought back lots of fun memories. That really is a well put together show.

Great video. Very informative! Thanks for sharing.

Great step by step instructions! Great Job. God bless you.

😊Andy I throughly I joyed your video, God speed

Wasn't the Santa Fe all the way layout awesome? I saw you making videos and was going to come up and say "Hi" but you looked really busy. Maybe I'll catch up with you at TTS.

Man. I live abroad now and constantly wish I could be here. It never occurred to me that someone might have uploaded a full tour of it like this. Can't thank you enough. This is actually my favorite place in the entire world. I was just showing my nephew the T-Rex room and how I used to sit on that upper deck until someone forced me to keep moving lol. That museum is my Camelot. The Zoo takes 2nd place, also. Mold-O-Rama 4 life.

Thanks for great instructions and bible lesson

What a cool perspective. Such a unique way to see the incredible layouts on display at this event.

I attended this show for 2023. Had fun looking around and bought a 3 HO scale engines, a UP GP40, A BNSF SD40-2, and a CNW Dash 9. I am also a part of the Green Bay Area Model Railroader Club which had a vendor table and a raffle layout at this show and will be there for 2024 with a new raffle layout.
